Chinese people haggle with Vietnamese woman in border town market over price of mountain berries. White root vegetable having texture of radish, looks like garlic but tastes fresh and juicy. This root vegetable was at least dried so any unsold on the day could be offered at other markets in China or Vietnam; green vegetables are hard to sell unless they look crispy and fresh. Fat pork meat on stall in Xuikou border town market more expensive than lean meat. Fat rendered down for cooking Chinese food.
